Rings and Dragons
Loremaster

Well i Think that i can clarify the invisibility of Sauron thing. Ya gotta figure that someone who has been under siege for 7 years would lose some of thier strength, i figure that he would know that the elves could have seen him anyway, with him all the way in spirit realm. And (to me) they would be the more dangerouse of the 2 speciese so i think he concentraited all the rings power into an all out desperate assault on the armies of his foes. Also no mater how strong he was he could not attack a great army by himself, so i believe he was losing power that may also explain his "explodeing" as the ring was detached, it would me as if his last source of streingth was taken from him at that moment, so he expired.

I also dont believe that Glaurung was a Maiar i believe that melkor just warped some form of life that he saw. In the Silmarillion there are many beasts that tolkien does not go into detail with. Plus i also believe that only the great dragons had true intelligence like Glaurung and Smaug.

Even though i havent seen the movie for TTT i have this bad feeling every time i se the trailer that the movie is gonna be a great messup from the books. Does anyone else have this Foreboding feelin? or am i just paranoid.
